This comedy war film was directed by Robert Altman. It was based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. The cast includes Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman and Robert Duvall. The film is about a U.S. medical personnel unit stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War. Its great use of humour and pranks, keep the characters relatively sane, whilst they deal with the horrors of war.
